Bluesky Overtakes X. Experts Massively Switching Platforms
Scientists are leaving X (formerly Twitter) in large numbers and moving to Bluesky. The reason is simple — disappointment in the growth of disinformation, aggression, and the decline in the level of discussions on the platform, which, after Elon Musk's transformations, has become an inconvenient place for specialists.
The latest data analysis confirms: Bluesky is rapidly becoming the main space for scientific discussions.
Bluesky offers an atmosphere of the "old Twitter," where there are no fakes or conspiracy theories. The service is built on an open protocol, which gives users more control over content and connections.
Research shows that the number of influential scientists on Bluesky is growing rapidly. Currently, over 40,000 researchers are actively working on the network, and the audience continues to increase. This creates conditions for the free exchange of knowledge and the dissemination of new discoveries.
A strong point of Bluesky is the ready-made selections of recommended accounts in various scientific fields, which facilitates navigation. Many maintain profiles on X only formally, but activity is transferred to Bluesky.
There are concerns that the departure of specialists will leave X in the power of disinformation, but the trend is already irreversible. Bluesky is becoming a new safe platform for world science.
This also applies to experts in the gaming industry. For example, the well-known investigative journalist Jason Schreier and American market analyst Mat Piscatella have long been using Bluesky.
